O'Donnell famously exited the talk show in 2007, one month before her contract was set to expire, after a heated argument with fellow co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who also later exited The View and now works for Fox & Friends.

"I didn't want to argue for a living," O'Donnell later said on The Oprah Winfrey Show of her decision to leave. "I didn't come back because the director and the producer did a split screen, and they had to prepare that in advance. I felt there was setup egging me into that position."

However, it seems that her feelings changed as she returned to the program for the first time back in February of this year.

Barbara Walters said at the time, "I am happy to welcome her back to the program. She is always a lively and engaging guest and a part of the show's successful history."
